In Loving Memory

I’ve spent the better part of the afternoon playing with different scripts, plugins, and hacked up (read: F’d UP!) code … to show a recent song playlist here on the website.

A lot of hair pulling and a pound of M&M’s later, voila! I found a working plugin for WinAMP called Audioscrobbler. This plug works similar to the Do Something plug released a coupla years back by posting data to a php script. In this case, it updates my profile on Last.FM. I can then parse what information I need by way of RSS2HTML, dump it to a custom template script locally and call from the page.

:)

YAY ME! lol

Anywho, you can see the results on my current “playground” page (aka the “where I try to break things” page) found by clicking Things & Stuff on the menu.

For iTunes it’s nice and easy with a nice little app called iTunesBlogger, updates into into a text file on my webserver via a secure php script. :) I can then parse the text file and link to artists etc… [/nerd]
